Wish some tech wunderkind out there could work out how to code this out of these cars.

I've never tried those power-increasing chip tunes for the ECU. Does anyone know if those improve these programmed delays?
I noticed when the car is in gear and you are stopped. The transmission goes into neutral to save gas. Then when you letup on the brake it goes back into gear(ASS disabled). When i put the transmission into sport mode it no longer goes into neutral but rather holds torque forward like a normal car. If the car is also set to sport mode the throttle response has no delay. This is how I achieve the rated 0-60 time.
